Reflections

I've said many things before. I've shared my hopes, my dreams, my aspirations, where I want to be, and I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you want them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure.

Life is funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard, kicks you down & beats you up. Especially when we let it. And you can always think of reasons to give up. But those are choices we have to deal with everyday. 

It gets pretty intricate when the choices you make affect others too.

People are going to disappoint you; I get that. But what if you wake up one day & realize that you're the disappointment?

Things aren't always going to be fair in the real world, that's just the way it is, but for the most part you get what you give. What's worse: not getting everything you wished for or getting it but finding out it's not enough?

I can think of so many moments that will forever be a part of me. Even bad ones. You can't really choose what is going to change you, and shape you, and stun you.. but you can change who you are after. I think the hardest thing to do is to not be jaded by the bad times and still believe.
